This summer, copper tones took over everyone's eyelids. Now the metallic orange tone is making its way to hair. (Even a member of BTS has copper hair, so you know it's fully a thing.) Every hairstylist I've been talking to lately have been crediting the leaves changing for fall
as their inspiration for their copper hair creations. Grand
Cayman-based hairstylist Kelly Massias is no different. However, she
added a unicorn twist to her latest autumnal look: violet copper hair. Plus, she made it easy for brunettes to try the copper hair trend.

If you're not blonde or a redhead,
going copper can cause some serious damage to your hair with all the
bleach involved.
Massias's violet copper hair keeps it all at a minimum, though. She took
the same approach as Sacramento, California–based hairstylist Patricia
Nikole, also known as @paintedhair on Instagram, did with her rose-gold brunette look.
After cutting off about seven inches of her client's hair, Massias
moved onto the coloring process. She started off by lightening up
sections of her client's naturally dark hair to a caramel color with
balayage. "Dark hair does not have a to be lightened drastically to
achieve this look making it a great option for brunettes," Massias
explains. "Lightening using a balayage technique allows for the perfect
blend from dark to light, making this a very low-maintenance color. The
violet and copper tones will fade to a beautiful caramel color over
time."
Next, Massias mixed together separate formulas for those
tones of deep violet and bright copper. (Be sure to ask your stylist for
these shades if you plan to recreate the look on your hair.) The deep
violet was brushed onto the roots. For the ends, Massias says she
alternated between the violet and copper depending on the section. She
let those process before rinsing them out with cold water and styling
the hair with a curling iron.
